Let's divide 33406431 by 261
We want to divide 33406431 by 261.

Step 1:
261 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 33 / 261

Step 2:
If we divide 33 by 261, we get 0 and a remainder of 33.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 33 leaves us with 33.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 334 / 261

Advancing to step 3:
261 goes into 334 1 times with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 261 from 334, we get 73.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 730 / 261

On to step 4:
When dividing 730 by 261, we get 2 with a remainder of 208.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 522 from 730 and we're left with 208.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 208, then repeat: 2086 / 261

Advancing to step 5:
The number 261 fits into 2086 7 times, leaving a remainder of 259.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 1827 from 2086, we get 259.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 259, then repeat: 2594 / 261

Step 6:
2594 divided by 261 is 9 with a remainder of 245.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1279.0
Subtracting 2349 from 2594 leaves us with 245.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 245, then repeat: 2453 / 261

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 2453 by 261, we get 9 and a remainder of 104.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12799.0
Subtracting 2349 from 2453 leaves us with 104.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 104, then carry on: 1041 / 261

Advancing to step 8:
1041 divided by 261 is 3 with a remainder of 258.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 127993.0
If we take 783 away from 1041, we end up with 258.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 261 fits into 2580 9 times, leaving a remainder of 231.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 127993.9
Subtracting 2349 from 2580 leaves us with 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 2310 by 261, we get 8 with a remainder of 222.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 127993.98
The remainder is 222 after subtracting 2088 from 2310.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
2220 divided by 261 is 8 with a remainder of 132.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127993.988
Subtract 2088 from 2220 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 127993.988, and the remainder is 0.0132.
